It is 10:00am in the morning.
Pranbir are still in bed.
Prachi is lieing on Ranbir's chest while Ranbir's face is buried in her hair and his hand on her waist.
Prachi stirred awake.
She buried her face the more the Ranbir's chest.
She raises her head and saw Ranbir right beside her.
Prachi: what!
She tries to stand up but Ranbir was holding her waist tight.
Prachi: Ranbir!!
Ranbir held her tight.
Prachi: what is he doing?
She thinks of what to do and a mischievous smile appears on her face.
She bit his arm and he screams slightly.
Ranbir: ouch!!
He said waking up from his sleep.
Ranbir: why did you disturb me I was dreaming about pra.........
He stopped.
Prachi: dreaming about who?
Ranbir: nobody. Why did you bite me?
Prachi: so you could let go of me.
She looked down at Ranbir's hand on her waist.
Prachi blushed but he didn't still let go.
Ranbir: for biting me,I wouldn't let go.
Prachi: leave me someone can come in and I don't want to get in trouble.
Ranbir: let them come in.
Prachi: leave me. I will scream.
Ranbir: scream and you can tell everyone how you helped me hide under the bed.
Prachi: you are bad.
Ranbir: am a bad boy.
He said with a smirk.
She tried getting out of his grip but instead she fell on top of him.
Prachi: please let me go.
Ranbir: I will if...............
He trailed off. He was now lost in her beauty.
She looked like a sunshine in the morning. Her bed hair really made her look cute.
He was lost in her blue eyes.

Prachi's heart starts to skips beats.

~prachi's thought~
Why did my heart do that? I feel weird around Ranbir. I don't usually feel like this.

~end of thought~

Prachi: Ran....Ranbir
Ranbir: sorry.
He let go of her and stood up from the bed.
He tried to open the door to leave but prachi stooped him.
Prachi: no, everyone is outside. They will see you. Look for somewheres to get out.
Ranbir: but where?
Prachi: I don't know.
Ranbir thinks.
Prachi: the window.
Ranbir: what!
Prachi: go down the window.
Ranbir:but I might die.
He looks down the window.
Ranbir: it's high.
Prachi: you will use a rope.
Ranbir: what if the rope cut or lose.
Prachi: you will be fine, you are a bad boy.
Ranbir: I am a bad boy but I don't want to die.
Prachi: either get caught or just get injured a little bit.
Ranbir: ok I will go through the window.
Ranbir climbs the window through the rope.
The rope slips her hand and Ranbir fell.
Ranbir: ouch!
Prachi: sorry.
Ranbir: thank your stars that I am alright.
Prachi: I am leaving. You are so annoying.
She leaves to the bathroom and he went to his room.

Ranbir is in his room talking to himself.
Ranbir:she does not even care whether I was injured or not. She even disturbed my sleep. Stupid girl.
Vikram: who is a stupid girl?
Ranbir: nothing dad.
Abhi: hmmmm, I see you had a fight with prachi.
Ranbir: she almost killed me.
Vikram: have you forgotten that today is your haldi ceremony.
Ranbir: I didn't but she wanted to kill me.
Abhi: don't worry, she wouldn't kill you.
Vikram: now have a seat let's dress you up.
Ranbir: actually,I haven't had a bath.
Abhi: really, cause you are busy with prachi right?
Ranbir ruffled his hair nervously.
Vikram: the ceremony is in 3 hours.
Ranbir: I will go have a bath.
Ranbir went to the washroom.

In prachi's room, prachi just came out of the washroom and she saw pragya and pallavi waiting got her with a serious expression on their face.
Prachi: good morning mom, good morning Aunt.
Pragya: I see you and Ranbir slept late.
Prachi: actually we had a little conversation late night.
Pallavi: and he didn't sleep in his room.
Prachi: actually i.....I... don't know about that.
Pallavi: well we just thought that maybe he slept in your room.
Prachi: no he didn't.
Pallavi: ok have a seat.
Pragya: let's us dress you up.
Prachi sat in front of the mirror and pallavi and Pragya dressed her up.

In ranbir's room, ranbir is dressed in yellow. He was looking hot.
Abhi: vikram, ranbir looks good. I am sure that you didn't look as handsome as ranbir is looking when you were having your haldi.
Vikram: I was more handsome than he is now. I was the best groom.
Abhi: lies,  I don't believe you. I will ask pallavi.
Vikram: go ahead and do so.
Abhi: let go down.
They went downstairs.
Families and friends were downstairs waiting for the ceremony to start.
Abhi: vikram,  where are the ladies.
Vikram: I don't know. The must be getting dressed.
Ranbir: dad............??
He trailed off drooling.
Vikram: what ranbir?
He looks in the same direction ranbir is looking in.
Vikram: oh goddess........
He was shocked.
Abhi noticed the father and son duo.
Abhi: what is wrong with you guys? People are staring at you guys,  what are you drooling about?
He look around and saw everyone else drooling.
Abhi: what is everyone looking at?
He looks at the stairs and saw three angels descending the stairs.
He was flabbergasted. He was dumbstruck.
Dadi and dasi comes there giggling.
Dadi: look at them drooling over the ladies.
Dadi and dasi grabbed the men by the ear.
Abhi:ouch granny it hurt.
Vikram:mother what did I do now?
Ranbir: grandma.
The men complained.
Dasi: I see you are lost in the beauty of our daughters-in-law.
Abhi: we couldn't help it.
The ladies went to the men.
They were beautifully dressed. They were looking like angels.
Prachi was the most beautiful of all.
It was as if the yellow colour was made beautifully for her.
Her hair glowed down her back and was beautifully decorated with yellow flowers.
Her waist was adored with gold while her feet was beautified with gold anklet.
Every step she took was music to everyone's ears.
Everyone's couldn't help but stare at her.
She was a goddess.
Dadi: wow,  God bless you. You are looking so beautiful.
Dash: oh my beautiful granddaughter. You are so beautiful, how I wish I could marry you.
Abhi: its not possible grandma,  what about ranbir.
The giggled.
Pragya and pallavi were pouting angrily.
Dadi: you guy have forgotten about my other daughters.
Pallavi: we dress for them but they don't compliment us.
Vikram: oh beautiful pallu, I didn't notice you. You look so beautiful.
Pallavi blush.
Abhi: fuggi. You look gorgeous, you are so pretty.
Pragya also blush.
Everyone eyes went to ranbir who was still staring at prachi who was blushing hard.
Abhi: ain't you going to compliment your wife to be ranbir.
Ranbir came out of his thought.
Ranbir: hmmmm.......hmmmm
He stammers.
Dasi: he doesnt need to compliment her, His eyes have already done that.
Pranbir blushes.
Dadi: let the ceremony start.

Pranbir took their places and everyone starts applying tumeric to their face.
Dasi: may you always be blessed
She applied tumeric to them.
Dadi: may you two always be happy together.
She applies tumeric to pranbir.
Ranbir: why is everyone applying too much tumeric to me?
He whispers.
Prachi: its because they know that I sneeze at the excess smell of tumeric.
Ranbir: really??
Prachi: yes I sneeze a lot at the smell.
Ranbir: ohk.
He said with a mischievious smile.
Prachi: what is going on in that mischievious mind of yours.
Ranbir: nothing.
Everyone applied the tumeric paste on pranbir.
Pragya: now prachi, ranbir apply the paste to each other.
Prachi was about to apply the paste on ranbir but he held her hand and smile.
Prachi: what happened.
Ranbir smiled again as he rubbed his face with hers.
Everyone awwwed while prachi frowned and ranbir giggled.
Pallavi: he is more romantic than his father.
Vikram: I taught him to be.
Everyone giggled. They all blessed pranbir and everyone enjoyed the ceremony.
